DoubleTake goes Full Frame

While the fifth annual DoubleTake Documentary Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina (April 4 to 7) had its biggest turnout yet, even bigger news was that the event will no longer be known as DoubleTake, but rather the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. Festival founder and executive director Nancy Buirski says the reason for the change, announced on the festival's opening day, was primarily to give the festival a broader reach, beyond Durham. 'The film festival has grown so much and has expanded so quickly over the last five years that if we couldn't do things outside of the Durham area, it would have limited us in a way we didn't feel was healthy for the growth of the festival,' says Buirski.
